Today, we are incredibly proud to announce that BASIS Independent Brooklyn students distinguished themselves yet again on the prestigious American Mathematics Competition (AMC) exams, with three high school students placing in the top 5% nationally and advancing to the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) competition—Theo Q. ’28, Victor Y. ’27, and Isabella Y. ’27. Theo also qualified for the United States Mathematical Olympiad!

Founded in 1950, the AMC is the preeminent math competition, and more than 300,000 students in 50 states and more than 30 countries sit for the exam to bolster their confidence and passion for math.

We are incredibly proud of our students’ success! Thank you to our Math Competition faculty advisor, Ms. Nuritova, and Math Honor Society Mu Alpha Theta chapter advisor, Ms. Olender, for nurturing a true love of math in our students.
